AB RED EAGLE

The albino Checkerboard Pigeon Discus / albino red eagle is one of the many strains of discus that through genetic mutation have produced a reproducible color variation of the Discus fish. The AB Checkerboard Discus has a distinct pattern of white to turquoise to red stripes on its body that distinguish it from the other members of the Discus family. These stripes crisscross in such a way that the overall pattern resembles a checkerboard, hence its name. AB Red Checkerboard with beautiful red eyes are very rare and special fish at Texas Aqua LLC. Discus aquariums should closely resemble their natural Amazonian habitat with plenty of plants and branching root or driftwood. Water parameters should be very consistent with a pH near 6.5 to 7.4. Our PH is 7.2-7.6, temperature between 80° to 86° Fahrenheit with low to medium water currents. Discus can thrive in a wider range of water parameters as long as the changes are not sudden and the fish has adequate time to adjust to changing parameters. AB Red checkerboard Discus should not be housed with aggressive or boisterous fish species or in aquariums with intense lighting or strong water currents.
